Hesperia Gas Station Robbed at Gunpoint

HESPERIA– Deputies from the Hesperia station are investigating a Thursday night robbery at the Sinclair Gas Station.

The robbery was reported just before 9:00 p.m. at the gas station and mini Dino Mini Mart located on the southwest corner of Main Street and Third Avenue. The armed suspect was described as a Hispanic male adult, around 5’6″ tall, thin build, wearing all black clothing and a black ski mask.

The suspect who was armed with a handgun demanded money from the clerk. Once he received the undisclosed amount of cash, he fled on foot Southbound on 4th Avenue. The sheriff’s helicopter (40-king) responded to the scene to search for the suspect, but were unable to locate him.

Integrity is unbelievably important when reporting. I believe in getting to the bottom of the story while being sensitive to the fact that the "story" affects real lives.I am committed to bringing important news, events, and other information to those in my community and beyond.
